stoop

an inclination of the top half of the body forward and downward

small porch or set of steps at the front entrance of a house

basin for holy water

carry oneself, often habitually, with head, shoulders, and upper back bent forward

The old man was stooping but he could walk around without a cane

sag, bend, bend over or down

the rocks stooped down over the hiking path

bend one's back forward from the waist on down

he crouched down

She bowed before the Queen

descend swiftly, as if on prey

The eagle stooped on the mice in the field

debase oneself morally, act in an undignified, unworthy, or dishonorable way

I won't stoop to reading other people's mail
